Preparations

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on August 15, 2005). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Much of the weekend was spent running around, getting boxes, making plans, and generally starting to get things ready for the move. We’ve got a Hanscom family get together this coming weekend, and I managed to get a week off of work for the move and a bit of vacation, so our current game plan goes something like this:

  • M-F: Work (sigh). Prairie’s heading back out to Ellensburg to finalize everything there, and I’ll spend my evenings packing things up and getting ready to move.

  • Friday: Prairie comes back out to Seattle, picks me up from work, and we drive down to Corvallis, OR to spend a weekend with my parents, my brother, his wife, and their kiddo at my brother’s place to celebrate mom and dad’s anniversary and have a family gathering.

    (Parents: Prairie and I will probably crash out at her mom’s place in Vancouver on Friday night, then continue on down to Corvallis on Saturday morning. I’ll e-mail you later today or this evening with more details and to make sure we know where to go in Corvallis.)

  • Next Monday: Drive from Corvallis to E-burg (uff-da!) and meet up with Prairie’s dad.

  • Next Tuesday: Rent a U-Haul, load it and Prairie’s dad’s truck up with all of her stuff, and bring all of her stuff into Seattle. Get the big pieces (desk, dresser, futon, bookshelves) from my place over to the new apartment while we’ve got her dad around to help.

  • Next Wednesday-Sunday: Make short trips back and forth between this apartment and the new one getting the rest of my stuff moved, and rest as much as possible.

  1. To move from our first apartment on the north of the IU campus to the one in the old grocery store on the southeast we used a shopping cart (not the grocery store ones, a small collapsible one) and walked MANY trips through campus with all our “small” items. We were moving from one furnished apt to another, so almost EVERYTHING was a “small” thing. Having a truck and a car will help ease the situation, I am sure.

    I’m excited to get all of us together again. And only a year and a half after we did it before — but I do think KevEmily were a bit busy that time!
